This limited-edition Strat blends pop-culture fun with serious playability. It features a poplar body, smooth maple neck and fingerboard and a single Fender-designed humbucking pickup that delivers punchy, full-bodied tone.

Classic Strat Tone With a Playful Twist
Behind the cheerful design lies true Fender tone. The single Fender-designed alnico bridge humbucker packs enough output for crunchy riffs, bright cleans and everything in between.

Comfortable Build and Everyday Playability
Beneath the colorful finish, the lightweight poplar body and bolt-on maple neck deliver the fast, responsive feel that players expect from a Fender-family instrument.
